Digital Map Information

Geographicus maintains an archive of high-resolution rare map scans. We scan our maps at 300 DPI or higher, with newer images being 600 DPI, (either TIFF or JPEG, depending on when the scan was done) which is most cases in suitable for enlargement and printing.

Delivery

Once you purchase our digital scan service, you will receive a download link via email - usually within seconds. Digital orders are delivered as ZIP files, an industry standard file compression protocol that any computer should be able to unpack. Some of our files are very large, and can take some time to download. Most files are saved into your computer's 'Downloads' folder. All delivery is electronic. No physical product is shipped.

Credit and Scope of Use

You can use your digial image any way you want! Our digital images are unrestricted by copyright and can be used, modified, and published freely. The textual description that accompanies the original antique map is not included in the sale of digital images and remains protected by copyright.

How Large Can I Print?

In general, at 300 DPI, you should at least be able to double the size of the actual image, more so with our 600 DPI images. So, if the original was 10 x 12 inches, you can print at 20 x 24 inches, without quality loss. If your display requirements can accommodate some loss in image quality, you can make it even larger. That being said, no quality of scan will allow you to blow up at 10 x 12 inch map to wall size without significant quality loss. For more information, it is best consult a printer or reprographics specialist.

Refunds

If the high resolution image you ordered is unavailable, we will fully refund your purchase. Otherwise, digital images scans are a service, not a tangible product, and cannot be returned or refunded once the download link is used.

Cartographer

Gerard Bancker (1740-1799) was an American politician and surveyor, active in New York City during the American Revolution and the decades following it. He was the son of a New York Dutch family of long standing: his parents Gerard Bancker Sr. and Maria de Peyster married in New York City in 1731. He was the grandson of Johannes de Peyster (1666–1719), the 23rd Mayor of New York City between 1698 and 1699. Little is known of his youth or education. He was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 1772. He was made a city surveyor, having produced a map of St. George's Ferry on Nassau Island in 1772. With the advent of the Revolution, he became active in State politics: he became Deputy Treasurer in 1776, and served as New York State's first Treasurer between 1778 and 1798. He and his brother Evert (1734-1815) were New York City surveyors, working both for the City and for private land owners. The years following the Revolution were busy for them, producing surveys as the lands formerly owned by loyalists were sold and re-sold by real estate speculators. More by this mapmaker...
